> "Wealth is accumulated through habits" is a great story to tell people but it seems very often to be complete BS.

I see a lot of these.

One of my favorite examples is https://www.businessinsider.com/how-ebony-horton-paid-off-22....

"How one 31-year-old paid off $220,000 in student loans in 3 years" is the exciting title.

You have to get to paragraph #7 to learn "work at your parent's charity" is one of the techniques. Paragraph #8 tells you another trick is "be gifted a condo". #9 tells you the third one is "have grandma pay your rent".
